Use AI to build a decision framework before your next big choice or recommendation meeting.

When you're heading into a meeting where you need to choose between options—vendors, project directions, hiring candidates, budget priorities—showing up with a clear decision framework makes you look organized and thoughtful. Instead of debating randomly or going with gut feel, you can guide the conversation through criteria that matter. AI can help you build that framework in minutes, turning a potentially messy discussion into a structured evaluation. Start by telling AI what decision you're facing and what matters most to your team or stakeholders. Ask it to suggest evaluation criteria, then have it create a simple scoring template you can fill in during or before the meeting. Walk in with a one-page grid that shows how each option stacks up against your criteria. This approach saves time, reduces arguing, and helps everyone feel like the decision was fair and data-informed—even if the data is mostly qualitative judgment.

I need to choose between three software vendors for our team. What matters most: cost, ease of use, customer support quality, and how quickly we can get started. Create a simple decision framework with these four criteria. For each criterion, give me a short description of what to evaluate and a 1-5 scoring scale I can use to rate each vendor. Format it as a table I can fill in during my meeting.
